Payne may often be banal retentive but this I suppose makes its point.

  Like one off to the side: "Undocumented Labor discounts"
  1. UnCivilServant 11 years ago
    
    Or "30% off cash purchases"
    1. Rich 11 years ago
      
      At the very least, label the other door "OUT"!
      1. mr simple 11 years ago
        
        Do you really think they're going to show you the way out before you pay?
        
        Rich 11 years ago
        
        "IN", then.

1. UnCivilServant 11 years ago
  
  I don't know, with the misplaced eyes and that horn on his head, I don't think that's a human.
  1. Longtorso, Johnny 11 years ago
    
    Payne or the guy in the cartoon?
    1. UnCivilServant 11 years ago
      
      I've never seen Payne.
      1. Almanian! 11 years ago
        
        You've never seen Payne and Warty TOGETHER.
        
        Think about it...

        Whoa....
  2. Will4Freedom 11 years ago
    
    The guys head looks a lot like a gun. Payne is suspended until further notice.
  3. SusanM 11 years ago
    
    That's no horn...
Will4Freedom 11 years ago

He should have drawn "Big Brother" looking over the shoulder of "Employer" with a magnifying glass.
1. Almanian! 11 years ago
  
  Needs moar crying Gabby Giffords.
  1. Swiss Servator, CH yeah! 11 years ago
    
    Howzabout a weeping Statue of Liberty?
    1. Almanian! 11 years ago
      
      PERFECT
Almanian! 11 years ago

I don't get it - is this trying to bludgeon something about wages and....something?

NEEDS MOAR SOMETHING.

Awful - therefore, perfect. Happy Friday, Reasoinds. Anyone else miss Suki? No? Me neither...
1. Almanian! 11 years ago
  
  "Reasoinds" vis the new black.
  
  *mainlines Mountain Dew*
  1. Rich 11 years ago
    
    Hey. Almanian!
    
    Should I call 911?
    
    Just shake out a number for yes or a letter for no.
    1. Almanian! 11 years ago
      
      *blinks eyes furiously*
      1. Rich 11 years ago
        
        *** ponders moral dilemma ***
The Late P Brooks 11 years ago

I don't get it.
Almanian! 11 years ago

Oh, if I were sage, I'd say,

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

That is all.
1. Rich 11 years ago
  
  *Letters!*
  
  Whew.

I see that this store is BYOC.

There is no evidence that high minimum wages result in high unemployment! That's just a lie put forth by wealth apologists! All businesses are rich! They can afford to hire people! But they put profits before people! They're evil! Capitalism is evil! Wealth apologists! Wealth apologists!
1. Otisjay 11 years ago
  
  wait.. is "Wealth apologists" a new jackass buzzword?
  1. sarcasmic 11 years ago
    
    I don't think it's very new. I've seen it in use for years.
    1. Sigivald 11 years ago
      
      I've fortunately missed that.
      
      People who think wealth itself is wrong.
      
      If only they could self-segregate to their own little country and see how that works out for them...

so the labor market is Costco?
John Galt 11 years ago

No big deal. The very last thing today's kids are interested in is an entry level job. It's either start at the very top or nothing at all.
1. Chumby 11 years ago
  
  I thought the path was sell drugs to kids, community organize and then end up at the top.
